Great stuff Sean! I just watched The Mystery of Cobblestone Way and The Magic Meadow. Both are really cool. Seems like you put a lot of effort into setting the mood and keeping a "look" throughout.

What did you use to build the Racoons' tree stump house?
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the films. We did work hard to give each piece it's own look and feel. We do the same thing with our live shows.

The under structure is made out of chicken wire covered with butcher paper. Next, we poured expanding foam over the structure. Once the foam cured we painted it with house paint, and flocked it with rayon flock. Once that was done we airbrushed it and added some final detail. The roof was made from raffia attached to a cardboard structure. The log that Mr. Raccoon sits on was made the same way.
